I've answered way more than two, perhaps your internet is slow! ;)

"The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

I agree there are a lot of reckless, greedy, and negligent people, however, your right to bear arms to defend yourself against those individuals “shall not be infringed”.

This might sounds like a terribly silly question, but considering a lot of psychological research is done on college students, how does that effect your particular field of study especially when it comes to finding participants?

As a libertarian who truly understands libertarianism, I am a libertarian.

AS MANY POUNDS AS YOU CAN AFFORD! NO WEED SUBSIDIES FROM THE GOVERNMENT!

HOW FAR DO YOU LIVE FROM WORK?

MY LIBERTARIAN CHILDREN HAVE FOUND IT TO BE VERY FUN!

I am running to give power back to the people, not because of critiques of any particular candidates. https://youtu.be/oWdRNGk9xAA

I am not worthy but as my father would say, “I will do the job until a worthy man comes.”

So...

Why should we legalize a drug that is linked to both increased ER usage and psychosis when the only reason provided is the logical fallacy of appeal to popularity? The US is a republic specifically because the majority of people could be wrong at times and representatives are supposed to serve as a check and balance in those instances?

I mean by your reasoning if a majority of the population want full on communism or to start nuclear winter we should do so. How dare those republicans stop full communism! How dare those trump republicans with all their peace talks not start nuclear winter!

Also, I thought libertarians are supposed to support freedom and being able to make decisions for yourself. Addiction is a form of slavery, so becoming addicted to drugs limits ones freedom. Also while on drugs, they can inhibit your ability to properly think and make decisions. They can deleterious to self-determination and discipline. All of these things sound like they should be against libertarian ideals. Being high does not facilitate the rational decision making that underpins the libertarian foundation.

Finally the elephant in the room: in books like 1984 and brave new world, the people in power are all to willing to use people's base desires against them in order to control them. Legal drugs could be used as a method to control the masses by a totalitarian regime. Get high and let the government do all the thinking for you.

Frankly, why should anyone take a party who has a key platform of "420" seriously?

Why should anyone view a party that's trying to corrupt a democracy by giving the people, and the democracy itself, tools of their own self-destruction with anything other than pure disdain?

I relate to your idea of being a “chronically stressed” person. I’ve had doctors point to stress as a aggravating factor for my chronic health condition, but I didn’t see myself as stressed at that time.

However, with time and the help of a therapist, I begin to realize that I actually had a lot of unacknowledged stress. It’s not that I wasn’t stressed before; it’s that I was out of touch with my body, my feelings, and what signals they were trying to give me.

Since that time, I’ve learned so much about myself and my anxiety. I have a clearer perspective on what things trigger stress in me and why; I have better awareness and a process to recognize it when it happens and move through it.

I’m no doctor, but just sharing my anecdotal experience in the hope it’s helpful. Wishing you less stress!

Unless there is a Texas constitutional amendment, the state is mandated to fund education, therefore taxes for education would not be cut. There are many areas in which we can cut spending and taxes and one of them is to stop giving corporate welfare in the number of millions of dollars to large corporations.

I see nothing about your stance on abortion. Why is it that 90% of "Libertarians" I talk to are anti choice? Don't you find it incredibly hypocritical for a party to claim to oppose mandates but not allow women to make their own medical decisions?

Is depression just not one of your areas of focus?

If a parent wishes to send their children to a religious school the funding allocated for that student should follow the student.

I agree we need a better government. One that does not lie to us and feed us false information filled with a political agenda. One that gives us good recommendations for the benefit of all.

Yes but put in the work to stop the increased mental illness and you're still left with it. This was VERY depressing as someone who set out to fix themselves with CBT and has depression. If I wanted to "manage" depression I'd have walked off a cliff already. I want that shit gone

The role of government should only be there to defend from foreign invasion and intervene when one person violates the rights of another.
Our past history regardless of how ugly it was should be taught to all of our kids. Lest we forget the horrors and atrocities of our past.

Absolutely! Old men should not be legislating morality for women.

The 1st amendment clearly states that “congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. Taxing it would be prohibiting free exercise.

I think we all would. But some of us can't hide from reality once they see it. Sometimes reality just hits deeper than others I'd say

I think optimism is a consequence of an already healthy, happy life. That's why it may never be proven to cause good health

Have you heard of Robin Koerner? Do you take advantage of any of his strategies?

Hello and thank you.

Can you combat pessimism with optimism or am I lying to myself?

I can get bad news and tell myself the good side of it.. a problem is a solution waiting to be found.. etc..

Oooh this is a really good question! I hope it gets answered!!

But what is your plan to make is accessible again?? Are you going to be super vague in all your responses? The American people NEED ACCESS TO ABORTIONS

Libertarians typically support "open borders". Every nation has a sovereign right to control its borders. What is your plan to handle the Texas border at the state level?
